Abstract

Yoksulluk ve servete ilişkin atıflar birbirinden ayrı düşünülememesi gereken çalışma alanlarıdır. İlgili alan yazın incelendiğinde yoksulluğa ilişkin atıfların tek taraflı olarak ele alındığı servete ilişkin atıfların ise genellikle göz ardı edildiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın amacı da yoksulluk ve servete ilişkin nedensel atıfları ve nedensel atıfların demografik değişkenlere göre değişip değişmediğini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla Kocaeli ilinde işgücü piyasasında bulunan ve rasgele seçilen 1010 kişiye yüzyüze anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, işgücü piyasasında bulunan kişilerin yoksulluğa ilişkin olarak yapısal nedenlere atıf yaptıkları, servete ilişkin olarak ise sebat, hırs gibi bireysel nedenlere atıf yaptıkları görülmüştür. Demografik değişkenlere göre sonuçlara bakıldığında ise yoksulluğun nedeni olarak kadınların erkeklerden daha çok yapısal nedenlere atıfta bulunduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Lise altı eğitim düzeyine sahip bireylerin servetin nedenini ayrıcalık olarak gördüğü sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. 18-25 yaş grubundaki bireylerin yoksulluğa ilişkin kaderci, 34-41 yaş grubundaki bireylerin servete ilişkin yolsuzluk ve yozlaşmaya atıfta bulunduğu görülmüştür. Hane halkı geliri 0-2000 TL arasında olan bireylerin ve işsizlerin yoksulluğa ilişkin kaderci atıflarda bulunduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract

The attributions for poverty and wealth are fields of study that should not be considered separately. When the literature is examined, it is seen that the attributions poverty are dealt with unilaterally and that the attributions for wealth are generally ignored. The aim of this study is to determine whether the causal attributions for poverty and wealth differ according to demographic variables. For this purpose, a face-to-face questionnaire was applied to 1010 randomly selected people in the labor market in Kocaeli. According to the results, it has been observed that people in the labor market refer to structural attributions in relation to poverty, and to individual attributions such as perseverance and ambition in relation to wealth. Looking at the results according to demographic variables, it is revealed that women refer to structural attributions more than men as the cause of poverty. It has been concluded that individuals with an education level below high school consider the reason for wealth as a privilege. It has been observed that individuals in the 18-25 age group are fatalistic regarding poverty, while individuals in the 34-41 age group refer to corruption regarding wealth. It has been concluded that individuals with a household income between 0-2000 TL and the unemployed have fatalistic attributions for poverty.
